Beyond the Rapids
Imagine that you are a believer living in a communist country. You live with the knowledge that at any time you could be imprisoned, tortured or killed simply because you are a Christian.
Beyond the Rapids is the award-winning true story of a Ukrainian
pastor, Alexei Brynza, and his wife, Valentina, who endured persecution in a
culture that was hostile to their faith as they struggled to raise their four
children as believers. Spanning the years from the Great Terror of the 1930s to
the time when believing in Christ was no longer a crime, this close-knit
Ukrainian family quietly persisted through the years, trusting God for
everything. The Brynzas’ four children, forced to choose between God and the
communist system, wrestled with temptations of ambition, popularity, love, and
wealth.
Beyond the Rapids is a story for all believers everywhere. If
you’re concerned about the erosion of religious freedom, if you are discouraged
because your children have wandered far from God, if you long to stand firm in
your faith, the Brynzas’ testimony of God’s faithfulness will provide hope and
inspiration, as they remind us that no matter how our circumstances change,
Jesus and His promises never do.
